It is clearly a name of Japanese origin. Making judgments about people based on their family name smacks of bigotry and insensitivity. Unless we are to believe that all people with the Fukushima are interested in raping girls at slumber parties.
The problem with statements that target people because of their name and not their actions is that it then applies to all people with that name.
